ok well i solved my own problem, but for the archives sake i'll
post what i found.
libpt seems to be a library providing for Unix 98 pty interaction
for glibc-2.0.7 systems. it can be obtained here:
http://word2x.alcom.co.uk/
i attempted to compile this library but it failed due to my lack of
the "ptsname" function in my glibc-2.0.7.
grepping the symbols in glibc confirmed this. grepping for
symbols in a glibc-2.1 libc results in the pstname function
however. so how fucked up is that? i need a function provided
in a glibc-2.1 libc to compile a lib used for compatibility with
Unix98 ptys and glibc-2.0.7.
does this make sense to anyone? if so you're crazy!
